It's all just stuff to get past. Just wish I could do this so much faster right now.

Anywho, If anyone celebrates anything this time of year, I hope you have as pleasant a time as you can.
Just be safe & in good health & all that, folks 👍

Shall be back with another update whenever.

Stuff on how I'm in my annual mental decline, struggling like crazy, and a plan that leaves me delayed with recording for a while longer.

It's one of those 'Works out in the longrun' type deals. The intention is to be able to focus on things like recording consistently.

There's no excuse for how my behaviour has changed. Certainly no excuse I feel like hiding behind.

It would be a stupidly long explanation.
As absurd as this sounds, I just... Have to go through this again. It's how this goes, and I hate it.
Sorry for the abandonment.

Two new posts on Patreon; One for free members, one for paid members.

Long story short; Still recovering from illness, still keeping myself busy with editing, still remembering all the requests I've got, still wrestling with noises in my head.

Trying to recover from many things asap.

Post for free members. Title says it all.

Two new posts up on Patreon.
One for free members, one for paid members.

The worst side of it is how you run out of energy, slump onto a bed/into a chair, your head sinks into a pillow/cushion, your eyes close by themselves like they're lined with lead... But your brain just doesn't stop. All you can do is open your eyes again at some point.

It's literally torturous.

I haven't forgotten the requests or anything, I've just been in no shape to even function for the past 2 weeks... At least, I think it's been 2 weeks. Could be 3, could be less.

I just need to kind of move out of the "Slow motion trainwreck" phase of things.
I am indeed a mess. Working on that.

What a time it's been; I've had insane levels of insomnia, it's flared up the worst parts of my mental illness, I stopped eating... And then a family member had a heart attack.
They've just gotten back from hospital after needing an operation on their arteries.

These have certainly been events.

Public progress report: Insomnia is... Annoying | SheyGrell Get more from SheyGrell on Patreon

Public report on how things are going right now.

It's vague on details about the project itself, because I'm currently, yet again, re-thinking how posts are done on there.

Details about that & why I'm dragging my heels are in the Patreon post itself.

Please excuse me while I get through this.

New scientific fact discovered; Broccoli isn't very smart 👍

See how the carrot knows of the pie's utter disdain for veggies, so it's hiding underneath the brocolli 😶‍🌫️

But what of no.4? 🥺 I bet they trained hard for that as well.

Tiny, slim & fiddly boxes, and getting the audio onto the disc itself? There was a 50-50 chance it would just corrupt at any point during.
It might elude to why mini-discs never really caught on in a big way.

I remember trying to have it put onto mini-disc, with a neat lil' official looking package & everything. Really wanted to surprise you with that.
Sadly, didn't pan out 😑 It's a finicky form of media to deal with, and the cases are just... Urgh.

Did I really first hear this album 7 years ago? 😵
I still remember the first time listening to it on a walkman in the middle of a sunny field... That cassette fuzz at the start is so nostalgically whimsical 💙

I think the most frustrating part of mastering (For me, anyway) is taking into account that not everyone has the same headphones or speakers. Selfish gits.

Just start twiddling stuff & see what happens! That's what I do... Before usually having to hit the undo button in a hurry.

That's a very complicated toy you've got there.

Sooo just in case I end up dragging my heels a bit; After going through a lot of stuff recently, I just took a little bit of time to focus on checking out a couple of games for the dreamcast.

I... Kind of forgot how good Sonic Adventure is 💙
Been spending longer than 30 minutes at a time with it.

A very profound bit of dystopian commentary about the environment & how much we all depend on-...... I may be overthinking this a tad 🤔

Don't worry, you'll get there 🤘🤠

Preview - Lower Lab (Full sequence) | SheyGrell Get more from SheyGrell on Patreon

New preview is up.

Hardest scene to do yet.
Next sequence has a total of 9 lines. Got room to do other stuff 🤘

I was going to show some of the new VO to everyone before post-processing, but then I decided against it. Sorry it's only 15 seconds, but it's loaded with dialogue, and I got insecure 🥴

I stand corrected. The laser's dead & won't read a single thing.

Y'know, I just lost my shit about this on X, just got nothing to say here. I'm sick of this being my average luck.

I've just resurrected my dreamcast 💙

Should reserve social media for VA & project related things, but here, an exception has been willingly made.
I'll be spending about 30 minutes a night re-visiting the likes of Sonic Adventure, Star Wars Racer, Tony Hawk 2, Phantasy Star Online, and many others 😌

Just don't make eye contact. Or turn your back. Or move away too fast.

... Probably should just outright avoid a Cassowary 😶‍🌫️

Same here with the PC & PS5, and there's no way it can deliver. Just doesn't interest me.

Can't speak for Pro Evolution, but the Actua series was great. The video for the soccer one... One dev's honest endorsement was "Nah it's crap on PC, get it for Playstation".
Only in the 90's, I tells ya.

It might be bittersweet with what the 6th one's gonna do to the industry 💀
I've a soft spot for the featurettes I've got for games like Medieval, and this ancient one called Actua Soccer. It's just that tiny peak back into the 90's that's been crystalised.
It pleases the old man parts of my brain 👍
